The comedian and actor Tom Arnold has lost a hundred pounds over the course of a year and says he has his infant son to thank for motivating him towards his weight loss goal.

On a recent visit to the doctor, Arnold weighed in at 187 pounds, compared to his weight of 287 pounds one year previous just before his son Jax was born.

A workout schedule with a trainer and diet restrictions have allowed him to lose the weight.

But he doesn’t let working out get in the way of being a father.

Arnold notes in an article for Today saying: “I do take time to exercise. But if Jax wakes up, I write down how much cardio I've done and calories and distance. Then I come back later and finish my 75-90 minutes. I write everything down. It's how I set goals and challenge myself.”

The stability of family life reportedly helps him feel less self conscious, except when watching himself on screen in any of the 120 movies or countless television and stage appearances that make up Arnold’s acting career.
